When a European law?

While suppliers are forced by the supermarket brands to accept to sell their products at low price, consumers are not expected back until the prices continue to rise. Retailers can afford as they are a monopoly and at a national level, Carrefour, Auchan, Casino, Leclerc and Intermarche have split the market. This phenomenon is not exclusive to France, the 27 EU countries are concerned by the effects of the concentration of supermarkets.

Therefore consumers expect a response from European bodies. Although a survey was conducted by the European Commission, the findings of this study expose comfortable margins that distributors agree to the detriment of suppliers and consumers. But for now, no concrete measure, no regulation has been proposed to protect consumers and producers of the dominant position of retailers. It is both to bring the legislation to fit the mass distribution.
